The 10 best cocktailbars in Hamburg
Exceptional chef Kevin Fehling has turned his idea of the perfect bar into reality and found a congenial mixology partner in Dennis Illies. Food classics such as the "Tom Kha Gai Milkpunch" and favourite drinks such as the Negroni with a wild berryish twist, cleverly interpreted for the glass. Absolute top class.
His "Gin Basil Smash" has conquered the world. This trendy bar not far from the town hall welcomes guests with soothing elegance. Jörg Meyer and his lions delight with exquisite creations and interpretations of classics. Rum and Champagne drinks are on the menu, as are whisk(e)y variations such as the "Masataka Swizzle".
The greatest classics in the smallest space; over two floors in the hotel bar of the traditional hotel. Around seventy types of whisky and 25 gins are served by the glass. Beverage Manager Enrico Wilhelm is a master of his craft. From the Rolls-Royce leather seats, the view is of the illuminated bar and the Inner Alster. Pure Hamburg.
From Italian espresso at lunch to afternoon tea and legendary martinis in the evening. A visit to the award-winning Bar DaCaio is always worthwhile; it is the lively centerpiece of the trendy The George Hotel. Legendary long drinks and cocktails, the varied bar menu is an exciting read with pretty illustrations.
Uwe Christiansen is an actor, author and presenter and, above all, a highly talented bartender (he started mixing drinks in his parents' cellar bar and completed his professional training in Cape Town). He has been making perfect drinks in his bar in St. Pauli for around 25 years and surprises even bar connoisseurs with creations that leave you amazed.
The 320° panorama offers a phenomenal view of the Alster and the roof terrace is spectacular. The bar, run by Rocco Tolomeo, is popular with Hanseatic locals and guests, and celebrities are also often seen here. Champagne cocktails are perfect here, but they also know how to celebrate specialties such as vermouth. Atmospheric with live music.
A turtle points the way to the trendy Hotel Tortue with its chic restaurants and bars. The stylish Bar Noir serves exciting drinks from 5 p.m., the bar menu is varied and specials such as "La lumière" are a delight. Beautiful courtyard terrace with Parisian flair and Asia just a table away at JIN GUI.
Tequila and mezcal play first fiddle here. Perfect for those who like to experiment: thanks to the chug mini formats, you can try them in many variations or enjoy them in cocktail size. In the cool bar on St. Pauli, where smoking is also permitted, agave spirits and classic cocktails also ensure a refreshing atmosphere.
In the middle of St. Pauli, Paul-Roosen-Straße is known for its special concepts, and a detour to this trendy bar is one of them. Idyllic forest ambience and a sawn-up piano as a bar on the upper floor. Classics and the bar's own gin are served, such as the "Mrs. Garfield" with raspberry and beet. DJs PLAY at the weekend.
All good things come in threes: a café, bar and distillery in the boiler house of the former marzipan factory in Bahrenfeld. The Clockers makers from St. Pauli mix in the bar. Conveniently, the in-house Clockers gin and herbal liqueur are produced in the distillery and made into perfectly crafted drinks and cocktails at the bar.
